GP Connect Send Document

This page tracks GP Connect Send Document as a distinct capability.

Supported Conclusion

Send Document lets a point-of-care system send a document to the patient's registered GP practice, commonly a consultation summary after the patient has been seen in another care setting. NHS England Digital describes the product as using MESH to transfer a PDF created in the sending organisation's system into the receiver system, where it can be processed and filed.

Architecture Pattern

The developer-facing integration sends HL7 FHIR STU3 message payloads over MESH using ITK3, and NHS England Digital lists the integration as in production. It uses the GPFED_CONSULT_REPORT MESH workflow ID.

Evidence Status

Evidence status is high for NHS product and integration definition. Current capability evidence distinguishes the service-facing product page from the developer-facing FHIR/MESH integration detail; it is not proof that a specific supplier or care setting has enabled it.
